Notes: Please do not bring any large purses, bags, or backpacks with you on the museum tour

Unavailable dates: The Uffizi Gallery is closed on Mondays, the 1st of May, Christmas and 1st January. This tour is also unavailable on the first Sunday of each month as museums entry is free and they do not accept reservations for those days, meaning we cannot guarantee entry times.

Bag storage: Museum regulations do not permit backpacks and there is no convenient storage facility. Please bring only shoulder bags. The museum further requests, "to get you through security faster, we'd be grateful if you could bring as few bags with you as possible, and try to put all the metal items you're carrying in a single container before going through the metal detector. Thank you."

It is strictly forbidden to touch the artworks; to lean on the bases of sculptures or on the walls; to smoke; to throw chewing gum on the floor; to eat or drink; to sit on the floor or on the protective railings; to speak in a loud voice; to disturb other visitors; to use laser pointers; to behave in an unseemly manner detrimental to the dignity of the museum; to bring backpacks or long umbrellas; to use mobile (cell) phones; and, to use selfie-sticks. Photography and filming are allowed only without the use of flash, lighting or tripods, and only for personal rather than commercial use.

FAQs

When is a good time to visit?

Italy's climate varies greatly from the Alps in the north to the southern areas and islands. Many parts of the country are fairly mild climate and beautiful for different reasons throughout the year. Some prefer to visit in the spring when...

... things are just warming up, and restaurants throughout cities like Florence, Rome and Venice are beginning to move their tables outdoors for evening dining, while others prefer the long days of early fall when the harvest is getting underway. There is really never a bad time to visit, but do keep in mind that the summer months can be extremely hot and not all hotels are equipped with air-conditioning. Summer is also the busiest time, and cities and beach resort towns are crowded with tourists and locals alike. August is traditionally a month in which Italians take their summer holidays, especially the week of August 15. Many shops, restaurants, and other types of business may close for a couple weeks in August or even the entire month. Fall is generally a nice time to visit, with somewhat fewer tourists and cooler temperatures - but you might need an umbrella.

In Italy, tipping is not as common in restaurants as it is in North America. You will sometimes see on your bill that a “coperto” or service fee is already included...

... In the past, it was customary not to leave any tip at a restaurant; now, however, most people leave a small tip of 5% or less. With taxis, it is customary to give a small tip when drivers help with loading and unloading luggage.
